Sunday Biscuits

Sometimes you just need a good biscuit to start the day. After watching Alton Brown, and rereading Sam Sifton, this is my current version. Hope you enjoy.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400º.
- 2
Add the flours, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
- 3
Add the butter cut into 8 pieces. Use a pastry cutter to chop into the flour. Don't overdo it, you want the pieces to be sand like.
- 4
Add the lard cut into 8 pieces. Use your fingertips to combine into the flour mixture.
- 5
Add the buttermilk. Use a soft bench scraper to fold the ingredients together. Empty onto a floured board.
- 6
Very lightly press the ingredients together until they form a ball.
- 7
Press the ball out into a 6"x6" square. Using a hard bench scraper, fold the dough over on itself 8 times to laminate.
- 8
Move the dough to the side of the board. Remove any leftover dough, reflour the board.
- 9
Place the dough in the middle of the board. Using a medium round, cut out biscuits, placing them on a half-sheet baking pan so they just touch each other. Roll the leftover dough together gently to eke out a few more biscuits.
- 10
Brush cream on the top of the biscuits, then sprinkle lightly with fine sea salt and cane sugar.
- 11
Bake for 20 minutes or so until golden brown, rotating halfway through.
- 12
Consume.
